LG V20 Teardown - Screen repair, Battery Swap, Charging port fix

[@NeXMaX]

Refreshing to see a phone that's so easy to take apart and repair.

[@CallumDavis_]

+D13H4RD2L1V3 it's rare these days

[@okhan5087]

+Pigs Nation yeah ikr

[@ChocoIatx2]

D13H4RD2L1V3 most LG flagships are...

[@zadeoooo]

The g5 was super easy to repair too

[@danielmontano-lobe9094]

Vinnie Tran The exception is the LG G2. Almost perfect phone, just one problem, if your screen cracks, and you want to replace it (like how I had to do it) GOOD LUCK. It is very hard as not only is the back non-removable and almost glued down tight, the rest if the components are almost impossible to get out. Took me 3 days to disassemble. Other than that, I love the LG G2

[@divyeshsurti3360]

Watching this on my v20. The phone is surely a tank with no scratch marks and updated android 8. A good invention by LG.

[@Saleem_Bhai]

No, because it cant run Fortnite so its trashed

[@horror01897]

@@Saleem_Bhai actually you are the moron it can run fortnite I play fortnite on my lgv20 you dumbass learn what you're talking about before you speak please you're making me lose brain cells by your stupidity 😂

[@backyardaviator2920]

@@Saleem_Bhai imagine playing an Overrated Kids game,if Id ever play something designed for Kids,it'll be Spyro instead of this crap

[@LGeekMX]

Most phones from LG are super easy to take apart, there is a lot of screws, but that's better than a lot of glue...

[@MultiJunkie101]

Manuel LibreGeek exactly

[@SonySMRTLim]

Manuel LibreGeek but at the cost of water and dust resistance.

[@LGeekMX]

Lim Ming Quan no in all cases, for example, the Motorola Moto G3 is a water resistant phone and have a removable back cover and screws.

[@tmthylthm]

The G3 isn't water resistant like you think. The internal components of most Moto devices have a hydrophobic coating that repels water, but anything more than splashes and you'll have a dead phone.

[@LGeekMX]

"water resistant" yes, but no "waterproof" (IPx7)

[@mlaygo]

After nearly a year of use, I'm glad I chose this phone. My carrier had only offered the Titan version, but I found replacement parts (back cover, the plastic end caps, volume buttons, etc. in the silver and pink versions, so I was able to turn my LG V20 into the badass pink color I always wanted.

[@depresskam]

Lol I love your sense of humor :) And A huge kudos to LG for letting you replace the battery and not having a huge amount of glue or anything in the way! I sometimes feel like LG is the only brand who still cares slightly for it's users!

[@contournut5726]

It's good to see one brand doing it right.... Trivial battery replacement, easy screen replacement, good job LG.

[@Guuzaka]

Nice to see such a powerful phone fare well in repairability. LG has really done a wonderful job with this phone.

[@alexdiezg]

This is probably the easiest flagship teardown of 2016, because of the removable back! ;)

[@anthonytom6679]

alexdiezg the G5 is also incredibly easy to tear down. I've taken mine apart before to fix the camera and it was very simple

[@alexdiezg]

Anthony Tom I bet it was pretty easy thanks to the removable battery

[@anthonytom6679]

alexdiezg yeah the whole thing only has two screws in it and they're Phillips head screws as well so it makes thing very easy

[@ElectroIite]

Still rocking my LG V20. The thing is a tank. I dropped it so many times, only superficial scratches, it's super easy to take apart so I can buy a new part replace it and it's going to be as good as new. I also got an 4100mah battery that fixed SOC issues, I'm also using Lineage with android 10. The phone still rocks and I have no plan to upgrade to a black box that I can't take apart or easily replace the battery. I hate the trend phones took to become vaults where you can't enter.

[@RCoster47]

Nice guy LG makes phone that can stand bend-test AND have a removable battery AND is probably the easiest to repair smartphone in the world

[@angel.2798]

The samsung galaxy s4 is really easy to repair. Mine is still going after 7 years with one motherboard replacement due to me bricking it. Would def recommend it. Goes for $40 on ebay.

[@backyardaviator2920]

Too bad theyve quitted this Concept after releasing this bad boi sadly

[@fadyesam9848]

Thanks, man. your channel doesn't only show us durability of most of the devices but you also show us how they are diassempled, assembled and fixed.. You are one of the best channels on youtube

[@MichaelOfficer274]

Thank you for making this tear down video. It gave me confidence in my recent purchase of my LG V20. My LG V10 dead of bootloop of death recently so it's good to know this one is easy to take apart if I need to fix it. Please keep these videos coming. Even my wife loves watching them, haha. Have a good day :)

[@de1mystery]

Thanks Zack, this phone is a dream to repair. But to be honest you make every phone seem to be easily repaired.

[@aaronmatheson2208]

Wow. Just another reason why this will be my next phone. Excited that the plastic end caps are easy to quickly replace as well as they will shoe the mosy wear I'd guess. Thanks Zack!

[@thedarklord69]

I am watching this video twice, this time came from the making of this video and realized how hard it is. Great Job man

[@karimjibran]

I can literally feel how your voice over techniques have improved over time.

[@AlSween]

No wonder the guy at the repair shop told me it would take a week to fix my port. Thumbs up.

[@chartphred1]

Amazing teardown Zac. Here I was thinking this phone was gonna be a complex beast. LG they're slowly getting it together.

[@Sun_Downer]

It should be law that all phones be this simple to disassemble and replace the battery.

[@kimjongtrump1934]

Zack you should introduce a new part in your tests: Heat test. Put the phone in a situation where it's heated up by its surroundings. Some of your viewers live in warmer, tropical countries where the summer easily reaches 40• C. I remember once driving with my car during the summer with the ac on. I had my iPhone on the passenger seat and it stopped working just by lying there for 10 minutes. I had to put it in the fridge to lower its temperatures

[@kimjongtrump1934]

Also a heat test is more beneficial than a burn test as very few phones really are exposed to flames while most are exposed to heat.

[@iliasthe1236]

You have a nice idea. He should also do at -10 or -20 Celsius. There are people that are living with those temperatures.

[@iBrotFail]

[@mrlaporte23]

yeah cold test would be great! Canada is cold you know 🇨🇦

[@iliasthe1236]

I'm in Germany and we are freezing too xD

[@PrivateAssassin]

Hey Zach I love your videos you are without a doubt my favorite channel I think your videos keep getting better . Hope your channel gets big buddy .

[@JerryRigEverything]

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

[@soujaboyssick27]

JerryRigEverything hey man I was wondering if you can remake the iPhone 6s scratch test because at the time you didn't show the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 picks on the screen... it would be a really good help:)

[@jacknelson5522]

Watching this on a cracked v20 right now. So happy to find out how easy to repair these phones are.

[@mudpieconspiracy]

Watching this on my V20 in 2019.

[@gblargg]

I just got a used V20 and am LOVING it.

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

I was but i got the v50 dual screen in australia its a great phone too, but i miss my removable back a little

[@raulsanchez4718]

I don't have any use of your videos really but i love to watch .. you do a great job at it! Keep up the good work

[@JerryRigEverything]

I hope you never have to! Be careful! And thank you.

Another late night with my Boi JerryRigEverything 👌

All night erry night brotha.

[@jasonpan247]

First video I've ever seen like this. Very impressive, interesting & informative. Great phone, awesome video.

[@mudpieconspiracy]

One of the best phones, repairability wise and of course replaceable batt. Looking forward to buying this, yes its 2018 and I want a 2016 phone

[@MroStudios]

This is a great, great phone. Probably the best phone of 2016 in its price tag.

[@ABDLLHSDDQI]

I had a decision conflict between the HTC 10 and the LG V20. The V20 has a never ending and ever growing number of compelling reasons to be my next phone choice, including the repairability ease you just showed. Love your channel man. I've been watching for a few months and never realised that I had'nt subscribed :P sorry. finally did it today XD

[@ShaiyanHossain]

get the V20 does everything the HTC 10 does audio-wise, but you get benefits such as a removable battery

[@ABDLLHSDDQI]

Shaiyan Hossain yup. IR blaster, removable battery and the peace of mind because of the mil spec 810g shock resistant rating. But the design of the HTC 10 is incredible, its skin of android is super fast and it handles ram well and its just generally snappy, and that its smaller, all contribute to a better day to day experience compared to the v20 which offers more features that would be used/noticed lesser. That's why I keep getting stuck :P but I'll definitely end up with the v20 anyway...

[@ShellymanStudios]

Easy repair smartphones are rare these days. I'm glad the LG V20 is one of them.

[@tristanhoekstra]

I juist had a dream where in you replaced my phones screen with a plastic one. When I confronted you about it, we started wrestling for fun. What the fuck

[@JerryRigEverything]

+Tristan Hoekstra i mean... It's pretty messed up that i would swap glass for plastic. So i don't blame you.

[@TechCaptain]

Unless it was a Motorola patented shatterproof screen.

[@GOATGamingAndSports]

That sounded gay af

[@timml2]

That's amazing. I think This makes it one of the most innovative Phones which were released this year. This is exactly how you should be able to repair a Phone. btw nice vid^^

[@willmcleay8669]

Love your teardowns and durability tests, another awesome video, one of my favourite subs!

[@JerryRigEverything]

Yesss!! Thank you!

[@StopResisting]

Awesome video as usual. Oh, and I loved the dig at Drumpf as well!!

[@winfieldk6692]

Praise King Emperor Trump!

[@SirMango]

Incredibly easy to service. Good job LG! Thanks for the video Jerry!

[@Omfcody1]

I love when a phone doesn't require a complete gut job to replace the back and sides. makes the decision to use without a case even easier.

[@DavidJung03]

Why aren't all phones built like this? It just makes me mad when I see those adhesives making it necessary to use heat guns and other tools to pry own the phone.

[@PeteS_1994]

So that they can look premium and attractive

[@EDIIIZ]

David Jung IP Ratings

[@andreasm7668]

David Jung so they don't break easy and it's much easier to have an ip rating. It's better to have a phone that can go underwater than a phone easily repairable.

[@SA-bg9tp]

Water-proof. And more revenue for companies such as Samsung, if phones are hard to repair, they'll be taken to the manufacturer, that means more $$ for Samsung.

[@PeteS_1994]

BlaCk MamBa Really? When these unibody water resistant phones have some damage or are repaired sometimes they lose some of their water resistant. How is that better than a phone that can be easily repaired.

[@DezMak]

that headphone jack comment did it for me... 😁👍 great wit and humour. (and repair skills)

[@sheik124]

Thx Jerry. Exactly what I needed to replace the Pepto Bismol LG used instead of thermal paste with some left over MX4

[@StandingTall32]

great work Jack, keep on going. greetings from Stuttgart, Germany

[@DanteFlores]

YOOOOO. YOU ARE STRAIGHT SAVAGE WITH THAT CLIMATE CHANGE!! RESPECT

[@jmatias3670]

Awesome video! I need that camera glass cover but haven't had any luck finding a replacement.

[@Lone_Rocket]

I love this phone. Its my daily driver.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

same it's OP

[@krollpeter]

Informative Jerry, that's looks like a well constructed piece of consumer electronics which should be easy to repair (though I will never buy it since I'll never again in my life spend that kind of money on a mobile).

[@EPICRANDOMGUY02]

Wait 10 years and you could get it at the price you want

[@ABarbarian93]

Super easy to follow directions! Thanks for the walk through!

[@Niko_993]

Even though I know I'll never buy so expensive phones, I love them... They are so interesting stuff... I don't know why...

[@achintyabhavaraju]

Watching this at 3 AM, thank you JerryRigEverything.

[@JerryRigEverything]

+achintya bhavaraju it's one AM for me! Get some sleep!

[@MyzteryMedia]

[@stupidclips12]

Awesome video, detailed and well edited. I'll make sure to stay tuned for more cool vids!

[@dustingaldeano]

I was excited to see the ess sabre chip. Usually they show it off in other equipment. Hope its really in the phone.

[@Gravage]

Looking forward to the camera glass replacement video, since I'll be getting this phone soon and that's my one concern.

[@juniorlewis9173]

Thank you. I now feel confident that I can do a DIY on my V20 should the matter presents itself.

[@jstee503]

Hell yeah bro thanx so much for the great video.... And I loved the jab in there too. Awesome!!!

[@mredc3]

I'm getting one of these tomorrow! so excited

[@kailia4328]

Or having a phone without a headphone jack is like being an iPhone user

[@mabirc2844]

Im an iPhone 7 user, so ?

[@dvdossbsvskfbdvav]

Mabirc How are you listening to this video? I'm using headphones with the clearly useless headphone jack Waits for iPhone fanboys to start hating on me

[@mabirc2844]

imawhale​​ I'm using the stereo speakers. Does your phone have stereo speakers this good ? Maybe... with an update... that your phone will never get #lol #AndroidDickriders

[@diogoandrade6894]

That's like... Eeewww

[@TheJohnstonWong]

Really dashing out on a v20 with an Iphone 7 ? Good luck with that ... may be with an update you'll get ... Quad dac IR blaster Removable battery SD card expansion Quad Hd screen military grade drop resistance Oh ..... #SheepMoron

[@ayan8233]

Jerry! You're the best and my favourite KZbinr! U are the best guide. It's an expensive hobby to test phones and do stuff like that. right? How do you manage dude? Anyways you're channel is very helpful and I hope you become a famous KZbinr! Best Wishes from DecentGuy :D

[@jumpstartfpv]

looks like this is the true flagship. tank like built quality and easiest phone to repair. they usually don't go together.

[@K1NGKRUED]

Your videos are always interesting. Wish I could "thumbs up" more than just once.

[@JerryRigEverything]

+K1NGKRUED i like the way you think!

[@NicolasOrdahl]

Great video. well edited. it is a good phone and now will live again. thanks

[@julioa8321]

that's some a awesome info man. thanks a another great video on the V20.

[@PinkManGuy]

Is that white square covering the serial numbers or is that just what the phone looks like underneath? Sorry, I'm ignorant to how LG designs their phones.

[@JerryRigEverything]

+Blazi Ken ya, it's covering the phone info

[@PinkManGuy]

Thanks for responding so quickly. Have a good night my friend

[@JanisVeide]

Good video as always! And what a funny way to clean up your subscriber base :D Not that I'm looking at that phone for myself, but as something fresh (apart from Sharp) I'd love to see the Xiaomi Mi Mix go through your tests and teardown :)

[@julianyc422]

I have peeled off all the button stickers to put on a new chassis (?) and replaced all that BEFORE I saw this video, which I wish I saw. My charge port is loose and I just replace it and some fancy bending with the cord to charge it, but I Love this phone still in 2023.

[@solidamber]

LG make great phones, I love my V10... its surprising they are not more popular.

[@etherlords88]

V20 is the best phone I've used so far... Powerful sound, imaging and all... It's just dealing with the screen burn but that's fine for me...

[@mr.rainbowlovescoffee]

I own this Phone and Love it. thank you so much for your wonderful tips.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Its a great one!

[@YancyDefingus2]

Have you made a video on how to replace the camera lense and where to buy a replacement? I literally just broke mine tonight and I'd like to try it myself since it will probably be cheaper.

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Man this was hard to watch, ive still got my 2 v20s and i still reccomend them. The h990ds that is. Its by far the best version you could buy and just an incredible phone, thats awesome to repair if you break it. But i have never had to.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

The simplicity of this phone reminds me of the old samsung days. Like the s1-4 and note 1-3. I am kinda tempted to sell my Pixel XL and get the V20 but I have come to really like the Pixel.

[@Coreykiller]

That's so cool that you know how to do all of this

[@benpyle7194]

You know Zack I thought you looked just like Woody Harrelson from your KZbin profile picture but you actually look nothing like him haha .. I enjoy your videos keep up the good work

[@dmelton_yt]

Can you do a video on replacing the camera lens or provide a link for the replacement part? I know it may be simple, but I don't want to mess up my camera.

[@davidlarsen1981]

If the charger port breaks you are not TOTALLY out of luck. Thanks to the replaceable battery :) I always have an extra battery with me on the go and put an empty battery in my bag for recharg on a powerbank. Never have to worry about wires while using my phone then.

[@wildtropics5354]

just had to clean dust off the inside of my camera lens. This was so helpful!

[@deucedaprodeuca]

I ordered the screen with frame from your link. It came in 2 days, but it's missing a few components. I know I have to transfer over the parts you named, but there are quite a few other parts I had to transfer over also.

[@MrSuperperson9]

you always make awesome videos

[@Tsuchinoko]

I love when you're talking of the jeadphone jack making references to the iPhone 7 😂

[@RenatoLaporte]

I've damaged a screen to the point it needed replacement, only once, but I've had quite a lot of water damage, from minor, temporary damage to heavy damage that rendered my phone dead. (this is what happens when you live in the Netherlands and commute by bike no matter the weather). So even though the v20 is a fantastic phone with great audio capabilities, I guess I'll give the edge for water protected phones. That said, IMO the iPhone design is much smarter were the screen is the first to come off. If you need to replace the screen of a galaxy, it's the last bit to come off.

[@TapleyLewis]

Good vid. Having a hard time finding a replacement camera lens, any ideas?

[@lucaszollner6298]

I like how LG highlighted the finger print reader. nice addition.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

[@benfranklin4111]

thanks for the charging port information

[@bbeyari]

I heard Japan got the LG V34 which is basically a water proof and smaller version of it without a removal battery.

[@danieladamczyk08]

It's ridiculous how easy this phone is to disassemble. Compared to devices like the GS8.

[@pjanoo6973]

I came here to find out how to replace the charging port to be told im out of luck, what part do I have to replace to put in a new charging port?

[@gandalfdergraue8444]

The whole Motherboard... Or if you can solder: just the charging port...

[@yashmohite1383]

Hey Jerry please do a scratch and hammer test on rhinoshield, based on the results i can decide whether to buy it or not.

[@vividestnumber]

This is another video that I have seen about screen replacement that does not say anything about re-using the rubber grommet for the front facing light sensor... But other than that very informative.

[@shitpants1574]

When are you doing the camera replacement vid?

[@lunkenris8284]

Having a phone without a headphobe jack is like having an iPhone Completely illogical
